TSS: MOTHER’S DAY — MAY 13

Good morning, Sunday Saloners! And for all the mothers out there: Happy Mother’s Day!

I’m posting this early, as I plan to have brunch with my daughter and grandson this morning.

My grandson is sleeping over, so I’m going back to bed after I write this.

I started my celebrating yesterday by spending time with my youngest son and his wife…also including grandson Noah.

Here’s where I plan to have brunch later….

In the afternoon, I hope to see Dark Shadows.

I loved the show in the 1960s…and this Tim Burton rendition with Johnny Depp is sure to be a winner in my book.

Speaking of books....Let’s talk a bit about the blogging/reading week. Not nearly as prolific as in previous weeks (either in reading or blogging), I did participate in the usual memes; then I wrote an excerpt about mothers and daughters at Snow Chronicles: Special Moments-An Excerpt.

Happy Mother’s Day. I hope you enjoy The Good Father as much as I did. Sounds like you are having a full Mother’s Day weekend!! One of my sons is taking me to a Japanese Steak house later on and my other son has already called. It is hard when the kids live out of state :(. Thank you for stopping by!! Have a great week.

I think this has been my most “fun” Mother’s Day weekend so far! I have one son who lives several hours away and another who lives in Berlin. I don’t see them that often on Mother’s Day. But I’ve spent time with the in-towners this weekend.

Dark Shadows was a favorite way to spend the afternoons back in the day…my oldest child was a few months old, and he actually jumped up and down in his chair at the images playing on the screen. He seemed more excited by this show than cartoons…lol

Now that son is a photographer and an edgy writer who laughs when he tells me that Dark Shadows “informed” his life.
